The continuing large increases in the costs of scientific journals is par- ticularly acute in private, four-year liberal arts colleges. This study seeks to learn how academic librarians in these institutions are coping with the price increases. How do they inform and negotiate with their science departments in the face of inflated costs? What alternate strategies are employed to maintain access when local ownership becomes economi- cally unfeasible? Using information obtained via questionnaire and per- sonal interviews, this study describes how liberal arts colleges in the Midwest are confronting these challenges. The conclusion offers sug- gestions on how to manage a most vexing issue.
